Hi everyone !

We really need some help and some suggestions! We are expecting twin boys, the C section is booked for either the 4th of May or the 14th depending on upcoming scans. But we can't agree on names !!!

We both have our own list -

Husbands list

Joshua (I have a cousin josh but DH loves the name 🙄)
Leo
Lucas
James
Jamie
Thomas

My list
Charlie
Wilfred
Edward
George
Oliver
Louie
Ruben
Freddie *

Any other suggestions that are similar? Or any of those that you think go well together?

Thank you for any suggestions !!! much appreciated I'm going crazy with it all 💙💙

I'd go for Leo and George - 2 of my favourite names!

Josh(ua) & Louie 😊

I think all of these names are nice but I would use full names on the birth certificate and I wouldn't use Louie or Ruben if you plan to spell them that way. Louis and Reuben are fine.

I would pick one from his list and one from yours, that go together. Some are more old-fashioned/traditional and others are more modern.

James (Jamie) and Edward
Thomas and Edward
Thomas and George
Joshua and Oliver
Leo and Oliver
Thomas and Charles (Charlie)
Thomas and Wilfred
Lucas and Oliver
James (Jamie) and Frederick (Freddie)
Thomas and Frederick (Freddie)
James (Jamie) and Louis
Leo and Reuben
Lucas and Reuben
Joshua and Reuben

Or Joshua and Jethro
Joshua and Jared

TheVanguardSix · 28/04/2020 14:54

Joshua and Benjamin

How about you give twin 1 his first name & twin 2 his middle name. Your DH gives twin 1 his middle name and twin 2 his first name. That way you both get a first name you really love but still get input into the other twins name with the middle name.

Joshua love
Leo love
Lucas love
James Love
Jamie love
Thomas love
Charlie love
Wilfred love
Edward Love
George love
Oliver love
Louie love but prefer spelling Louis
Ruben - not keen - dislike - think you’ve spelt it wrong too which is another problem with the name that it’s quite hard to spell
Freddie - Love

OnlyJudyCanJudgeMe · 28/04/2020 13:58

Thomas & Wilfred.
James & George.
Lucas & Charlie.

pillowtalkey · 28/04/2020 13:54

I like James & Louis

RagamuffinCat · 28/04/2020 13:53

I like James and George together. I think most combinations of Joshua, James, Thomas, Edward, George, Oliver and Louie go well, so would pick your favourite name and his favourite name out if those to go with. Just not James or Jamie and Oliver!
